LAND SURVEY
LAND SURVEYS (sometimes called cadastral or
property surveys) are conducted to establish the exact location, boundaries, or
subdivision of a tract of land in any specified area. This type of survey
requires professional registration in all states. Presently, land surveys
generally consist of the following chores:
§ Establishing
markers or monuments to define and thereby preserve the boundaries of land
belonging to a private concern, a corporation, or the government
§ Rerunning
old land survey lines to deter- mine their lengths and directions. As a result
of the high cost of land, old lines are remeasured to get more precise measurements
§ Calculating
areas, distances, and directions and preparing the land map to portray the
survey data so that it can be used as a permanent record.
§ Writing
a technical description for deeds.
Boundary Survey
Boundary Survey is basically carried out to
determine the length, direction of land lines and to establish the position of
these lines on the ground that has been described either graphically (Plat) or
in writing (Deed).
The factors that influence Boundary survey
are:
§ Property
boundary is in dispute
§ Boundary
location is unknown or unclear
§ Before
improvements are made to the property (buildings, fences, excavation, etc.)
§ To
stop encroachments from adjoining owners
§ To
establish easements and rights of way, Land Title Conflicts etc
§ When
buying, selling, investing in or developing a property
We are proficient in conducting the Boundary
Survey since several years. We make a thorough understanding of the client’s
Property particulars and provide them with accurate measurements and markings
which will helps in sorting out any boundary related issues.
We also offer the boundary survey which is required for
any Land Registration purposes intended for Sale or Mortgage.
As-Built Survey
As-Built Survey is carried out to record the details of a
finished structure. It also may record variations between a planned structure
and the completed structure. Specifically, an As-Built Survey is a survey to
physically locate structures and improvements on a parcel of land, generally
for financing or sale purposes.
We conduct the As Built Survey skillfully and provide our
clients accurate details of measurement by comparing the original and exact
structures. Any variations is also measured and recorded for client’s reference.
Measured Building Survey
Measured Building Survey plays a vital role
when presenting a property to the market for sale or when any renovations need
to be made on the existing built property.
Measured Building Survey usually involves
taking accurate measurements of the building and developing complete sets of
plans, which usually include the following:
· Floor Plans with interior and exterior
walls, windows, doors, access doors, window and door schedules, openings,
skylights, exposed beams, stairs, built-in casework, attached decks, balconies
and portico
Mechanical and Electrical Layouts including plumbing
fixtures, power, data, TV, communication outlet locations, lighting layout with
switches.
Roof Outline with slope drainage, parapet walls, chimneys.
Four Exterior Elevations including all visible elements
such as posts, walls, windows, doors, openings, stairs, railing, roof exterior
siding, doors, windows and ceiling heights.
We provide professionally made layout of a
house/building which often helps a potential client to make a much more
informed decision regarding the renovation of existing one or purchase of new
property etc.
Topographical survey
Topographic survey involves determining the
horizontal and vertical locations of objects on the surface of the earth.
Horizontal location entails locating ‘objects’ like roads, railways, ponds,
houses, boundaries of properties, etc. by measuring horizontal distances; the
objects are indicated by symbols.
Vertical location includes the location of
hills, valleys, depressions, benchmarks, RLs of points, etc. by measuring
vertical distances; the objects in this case are represented in relief.
Thus, a topographic map shows the nature of the earth
surface along with the positions of different objects.
Such a map is essential for the engineering projects
involving roads, railways, irrigation, reservoirs, townships etc.
The scale of a topographic map depends on the extent of
area it covers, and the purpose for which it is to be prepared.
· Generally
topographic map is prepared according to a scale of 1 cm to 1 km (i.e.
1/100,000).
